Application filed February 8, 1912. Serial No. 676,168.

' lar object to provide such an appliance which may be used in connection with high pressure systems to convey a heating medium under hlgh pressure.

In the drawing, Figure I is a partial elevation and partial section of a portion of a heating appliance embodying my invention. Fig. 11- is an end elevation of the device shown in F ig. I.

In the drawing, 1 re resents a section, of j v can readily contact with the lateral flanges a tube, which is prefera 1y a'heavy wrought iron pipe adapted to withstand higher pressure than the ordinary cast iron webbed radiators, capable also of holding salt brine or other similar fluids when heated and subjectedto heavy pressure and also capable of withstanding shock or even bending under pressure without breakage, L

2 represents a flange radiating member, preferably of wrought iron, provided with a horizontal or longitudinally extending flange or collar '3, and the vertical or laterally extending radiating flange .4, that is integral with the longitudinally extending flange 3. The radiating flange 4, if desired, may be provided with perforations, as indicated at 5. The bore of the member 2 is preferably such that'when red hot, or far above its working temperature, the same may be driven snugly upon the pipe 1 which may be kept cool', or far below its working temperature as by means of a flow of water therethrough, and

. thus when the collar is allowed to cool and contract upon the tube, an extremely tight and elastic fit is secured. Therefore, if the pipe first be properlyicleaned and the bore of the collar properly cleaned, and the two members shrunktogether as above described they are held together throughout their working temperatures in very intimate contact which causes very slight resistance to the conduction of heat to the radiating webs 4'which webs provide'a great radiating sur-' face. By assembling a number of' the collars upon the tube' and driving them together as shown in Fig. I, I thus produce a heating appliance which may serve to convey a fluid under very high pressure and conduct therefrom and radiate heat very,

5 may be providedjn the radiating flanges to allow passage of a ir through the flanges.

In Figs. I and II it will be noted the radiatmg flanges are shown as eccentric and alternated 1n their relation to each other upon the pipe or tube 1.

Due to its arrangement the exterior air or come in proximity thereto and thus effectively carry away the heat. I

From the foregoing, it Will be plain that I have produced a simple and effective heatmg appliance which'may be readily constructed out of wrought iron or other suitable strong and elastic material which will withstand greater pressure and greater mechanical strain than a cast material. Also, it will be obvious that the tube or containing member of my appliance can be threaded or otherwise worked more advantageously than in any cast heating appliance.

I do not wish in any way to limit myself to the exact details or construction shown in the accompanying drawing and described in this specification, for it will be plain that departure in the way of detail may be made vithout departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, which is as set forth in "collars being. arranged on the tube side by side so as to space the flanges apart, and being secured to the-tube while the latter is cooled below its working temperature and the said collars are heated above their work- 7 flanges being eccentric in respect to the tube ing temperature, the eccentric flanges being and alternatingly arranged in respect to alternately arranged with respect to, each each other.
